Unheard: An Evening of Grief and Hope

Nai states: “For those whose voices are unheard, whose faces are unseen, who are reduced to numbers, and whose very existence is erased from “the narrative”. They are not numbers. They have faces, names and voices. They had dreams that have now come to an end. They are loved and cherished by many who will forever miss them. For all of those, particularly for the children of Gaza, we dedicate this evening of grief, hope, and even joy. We grieve the beautiful souls of those we’ve lost, and we hope for justice, for freedom, for dignity, for real peace for those who are still surviving, still seeking safety, and still dreaming despite the overwhelming, unspeakable horror. My voice is but an echo of yours.”

Nai Barghouti is an award-winning Palestinian singer, composer and flutist. From her first concerts in Ramallah and Cairo at the age of 14 through her packed concerts at the London Jazz Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, the United Nations in New York and in renowned theaters in Paris, Washington, Istanbul, Amsterdam, London, Casablanca, Rabat, Kuwait and Beirut, the Jerusalem-born artist has been praised as a “classical diva”and an“exceptional virtuosa.”

• Khalil Khoury (Qanun)
• Ruven Ruppik (Percussions)
• Diego Alvaraz (Bass Guitar)
